employment advice
An Employment Resource to Keep
There's employment law and then there is employment relations, each work in partnership to achieve employment growth and success. The guidelines and rules come direct from the DTI and Department of Work & Pensions (DWP) and there are a multitude of other organisations that specialise in certain employment aspects.
employment links
These links will take to the official employment web sites and specialist employment associations. Each offering information and links to further your interest:
 
it's easy to find
As  employment rules and regulations are practically set in stone it's easy to find direct information on your employment enquiry.

By looking at different sectors and the number of employees within those sectors one can create a picture of Somerset's business landscape.

ACAS - Advisory Conciliation and Arbitration Service

ACAS's origins go back over 100 years and has had many name changes since then.

ACAS is a publicly funded body run by a council made up of leading figures from business, unions and independent sectors to academics

It aims to improve organisations and working life through better employment relations. They provide up-to-date information, independent advice, high quality training and they work with employers and employees to solve problems and improve performance.

Their web site is a great resource and the A-Z of employment issues and tools should be part of any business inventory.
